The ICUCARE® Equity Framework by Dr. Pamela Seda is a comprehensive approach to creating equitable mathematics classrooms that affirm and elevate all students, especially those from marginalized communities. The framework guides educators to: Include students as mathematical experts, Be Critically conscious of how stereotypes impact learning, Understand students' identities and experiences, Use Culturally relevant curricula that reflects students' lives, Assess and build on prior knowledge students bring, Release control to empower student agency, and Expect More by holding high expectations while disrupting deficit views. Together, these seven practices transform math instruction from teacher-centered authority to student-centered sensemaking, positioning all learners as capable mathematical thinkers and problem solvers.
